    Install vista on primary(first) partition. since Wubi installs Ubuntu as an application of windows you can choose to install it on the same drive as vista.
    Now install windows 7 on 2nd partition.
    I am having everything similar to it except that vista is replaced by xp in my pc.

    mate nothing to discourage you but i just lost all data in my 250 gb hard drive trying to do this.so always be careful while doing this.As you have installed with wubi just install 7,it would recongnise vista and which in turn has ubuntu.

    I had something like this before but it was Vista,XP, (Wubi) Ubuntu triple-boot...

    But if I was jcgo16, I would have tried to triple-boot Win7, XP (not Vista), and Ubuntu....but to each his own, right
    They call me the mysterious one...
    my motto is...when it's hot, chill baby

    Nice idea theoretically but it's gonna be hard to implement...making a hackintosh (mac os on PC) itself is a complicated process from what I've Googled...I don't think it's possible for you to do a quad-boot with that. But if you do, tell us...we're gonna submit that to Guinness World Record

    P.S. Why would you want to do that lol? I've had the chance to triple-boot & I find myself using only 1-2 OS at most...

    You gonna mess up your pc man.
    If you wish to try so many os the just use virtual machines like VMware and install them within that. Thats the safest way to try something.
